Der Profilograph nach Albrecht Dürer

pablogarcia.org/projects/profilograph-after-duerer/ Studies in male profiles, from Albrecht Dürer’s Vier Bücher von Menschlicher Proportion (Four Books on Human Proportion) (1528), transformed by what I call PROFILOGRAPHY—a method of tracing and extrusion through sequential profiles. The machine is made from 3D printed shells, mounted to laser-cut aluminum structure, rotating on a motorized spindle. First made in 2008 for exhibition at the University of Michigan.
